I need to get my wife a new Kindle and the "special offers" version is $50 cheaper because there are ads on the bottom of the home screen and when it is not being used. Has anybody used one of these? Is it a hassle and should I get the ad-free version?
Hope Debbie liked the surprise, and who wouldn't really. Have fun.

Farewell lunch to my law student mentee: Negro Modelo with a chicken & chorizo burrito, and a Rodebach Grand Cru at Rosamunde's along with half of a boar sausage. First time to the mother ship rather than the outpost next door to Toronado. One stop shopping for sausage and beer!
Nice julep, Shelly. Very pretty and I am sure very tasty. The Stagg julep was awesome. Nice kick like a hoof to the head!
I was inspired to try Marc's concoction even without the peach brandy. I made due with a Hungarian Pear Brandy that my Hungarian buddy brought back from a trip over there. Probably not as sweet as the peach, but very tasty and S&C dominated in a good way.
For me, a rather indulgent Julep:
And for Claire a Beton, which was a cocktail we drank in Prague. Becherovka (1.5oz), lemon juice (.5oz), and tonic (4-5oz) over ice. Tasty stuff.
